Southern Surprise

On the South Islands’ southern most coast, you’ll find the road less travelled.The Catlins are a little known wonder of the Southland region and somewhat off the beaten track.

If your ideal holiday is exploring the unsung wonders of New Zealand, then the Catlins are a great place to start. Discover the ancient coastal forest of Curio Bay which is dated around 160 million years old.

Explore coastal and inland landscapes with waterfalls, rivers and forests where unique plant and wild life abound. Nugget Point features fur seals, Hooker’s sea lions, sea elephants, penguins and Hector’s dolphins.

Take a journey to the Catlins River Walk to view rare bird life, native birds and exceptional natural flora and fauna.

The staff at Ascot Park Hotel, Invercargill would love to share their stories and knowledge of the Catlins region with you. Ascot Park Hotel's General Manager, Peter Ridsdale, has hunted and fished throughout the Southland and Fiordland areas for the last 15 years and would love to share his knowledge of “special places" that he has identified as “must do’s” when travelling in this area. Feel free to contact him for local advice.
